TOUR PROCESS.

TO SCHEDULE A TOUR.

Tours are typically done after talking by phone. I am living abroad in Spain so the best way to connect is through WhatsApp where my number including the Spanish area code is +34.652.099.664. Voice calls or text messages are welcome.

Spain is 9 hours ahead of PST, so it is best to call or text as early in the PST morning time as possible. I am usually available up until 10am PST, though calls or texts are welcome anytime and will be responded to when possible.

Always include your name in the first message. After completing some tenant screening steps there is a local assistant that is able to show the property.
